The Devils Punch
What better way to celebrate the scariest holiday of the year than with a little Devil's Punch? Your Halloween party will be a hit with this cocktail and the blend of citrus flavors will not scare your guests away. Increase this recipe to fill a punch bowl by thinking of the ratio: 2 parts tequila, 1 part each orange liqueur, limoncello, sour mix, and 1/4 part orange juice.
Ingredients:
2 oz tequila
1 oz Limoncello
1 oz sour mix
dash of orange juice
Preparation:
Pour the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a sour or highball glass.
The Baileys Caramel Apple
Drink Recipe Ingredients:
2 oz. Baileys Caramel Irish Cream (25 oz. per bottle)
0.5 oz. Smirnoff Green Apple Flavored Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
1 dash(es) Goldschlager (25 oz. per bottle)
Bloody-tini
Bloody it is not, do its look resemble a cocktail glass filled with blood, sort of but I've never seen (nor want to) such a thing. The Bloody-tini is a simply and fun Halloween cocktail and would make an eerie cocktail menu alongside the likes of the Vampire Kiss. The acai is a tasty little fruit with healthy properties, but when paired with liquor that fact is up for debate. That said, the bit of champagne in this drink is a nice little touch of class.
Ingredients:
2 oz VeeV Acai Spirit
1 oz acai juice
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
Top with fresh champagne
lime wedge for garnish
Preparation:
Combine VeeV, Acai juice and fresh lime with fresh ice in a cocktail shaker and shake.
Strain into a chilled martini glass and top with champagne.
Serve with a fresh lime wedge.
Vampire Kiss
Take a French Martini, cross it with a Vampire, ditch the juice and add a splash of bubbly and you have given birth to a Vampire Kiss Martini. The taste of the drink itself is anything but scary, it's actually very elegant and something that would work not only for Halloween, but for Valentine's Day or any Champagne occasion. For its intended holiday, it is perfect because the Chambord gives it a dark, almost black color.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Finlandia Vodka
1 1/2 oz Korbel Champagne
3/4 oz Chambord
red sugar for rimming
Preparation:
Rim the glass with red sugar (use food coloring) or drop in a set of wax vampire teeth for a real surprise.
Pour vodka and half of the Chambord in a martini glass.
Top with Champagne.
Pour the remaining Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float.
Bayou Slime
Think of the Bayou Slime as a toxic Pink Lady, replacing the gin with rum. The sludge is due mostly to the egg white, which will create a fantastic layer of foam on top of the drink and the moss is created by sprinkling mint on top. It's an interesting cocktail, with the sweet rum and spice from the cordial syrup, that is a flavor you'll soon be addicted to and the creepiness is a perfect fit for favorite Halloween cocktails.
Ingredients:
2 parts Cruzan Dark Rum
6-8 fresh mint leaves
1/2 part Fee Brothers Spiced Cordial Syrup
1 egg white
Preparation:
Muddle mint leaves and syrup together, making sure to crush the mint leaves.
Place all ingredients into a shaker.
Shake until well-chilled and frothy.
Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with additional crushed mint leaves.
The Candy Corn
This Candy Corn cocktail is far different than the popular layered shooter by the same name and we have Jonathan Pogash, the Cocktail Guru, to thank for it. It's an extremely creative drink that features kettle corn-infused gin - yes, that's right, kettle corn. The method for creating this unique infusion is below, and you will want to take the extra time to make it as it is the key to bringing together this sweet Halloween-worthy drink.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. Kettle Corn-infused Bombay Sapphire Gin (recipe below)
1/2 oz. Moscato wine (sweet dessert wine)
3/4 oz. home-made citrus peel grenadine syrup (recipe below)
3 candy corns for garnish
Additional ingredients needed:
kettle corn
sugar
orange and lemon skins
Preparation:
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake very well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with 3 candy corns.
Kettle Corn-infused Bombay Sapphire
For every 750ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire, add in 1 cup kettle corn.
Allow to infuse in an airtight container for approx. 24 hrs.
Fine strain kettle corn and re-bottle.
Store in fridge.
Citrus Peel Grenadine Syrup
For every 1 cup of POM wonderful pomegranate juice, dissolve 1 cup granulated sugar over stove top.
Once dissolved, add in the skins of 1 orange and 1 lemon and simmer for 10 mins.
Remove skins and chill syrup.
